Well, I'm certainly not going to say it's impossible that weed may have caused some of your mental problems. As far as what we know about the brain, it's still pretty much terra incognita. Perhaps your nervous system is exceptionally sensitive to it and it may be wise for you not to use marijuana. Best of luck with your recovery.

I am going to say this a nicely as possible......... You are YOUNG , confuzed , depressed, and I am sorry but when it comes to Cannabis you dont know what you are talking about. I will talk facts with you, I will discuss science, but what I wont do is get into a well its bad well its good arguement. Because you may have seen some things and I may have seen some things, but what this all boils down to in the end is SCIENCE. The question , Is Cannabis a dangerous and addictive substance, well I dont mean to sound arrogant, but anyone that belives it is, has LITTLE if ANY education on the issue. Do you stay current with latest studies and books???, Ever read MArijuana Myths , Marijuana facts??? Oh!, and by the way, I DONT DEFEND POT!!!!!! I defend Clean, flushed, organically grown Cannabis. There is a HUGE differeence. Sorry but as the science stands, Cannabis in known the world over to be a safe medicine, even if some people arent yet up to date,and government agencies in some countries still parade out lies, exagerations, and bunk science, which slows the flow of relible information. Do some reading, then tell me Cannabis is dangerous. (if you are getting that upset its not the cannabis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, like another "pot junkie" that posted maybe you are just unhappy with life , ever consider that its your life and your day to day activity thats got you down?? When I was really depressed(years ago, while young ) I felt that all sort of things sucked,these days I am happier then ever....Cannabis didnt heal or pain me, I did it to myself. Love?? and Health?? Do you have those?? Regardless of what some of us may SAY, we all want to love and be loved, and we all want to feel well. Maybe you need a girl, not a plant in your life right now. Personally right now I need a plant in my life , but if the right girl comes along (but maybe I will wait until after I have some actual (working)money in my pocket again and a HOME, and some food to cal my own )

Organic said: A lot of people get "anxiety" from smoking. Is it because they see their ego from a more detached perspective and cannot handle it?
I think marijuana gives some people paranoia because it enforces the ego. Just my opinion though. I like it for recreation, but haven't used it in years and don't plan on anytime soon.

actually, weed dose not cause psycosis, if it did, I would be in the nut house by now, especilly after my wayyyy to many very good brownioe expiriance.
Booze on the other hand, is very well known to cause psycosis, never heard of alcoholic psycosis? but I belive that in your case, you probably have some form of schizophrenia, belive it or not. the doctors told you it was drugs, because that's what doctors do. they don't knwo everything, especilly when it concerns matters of drugs. you think feeding kids aderall and prozac is a good idea? it's posible that drug use brought out your schizophrenia, but I'm willing to bet it would have emerged even if you didn't use.

Be honest, don't even bother lying, its bad karma.
If you have some good herb around, you smoke that shit all day everyday until its gone don't you....
Like I said, DO NOT LIE. If it's around you won't just pass up smoking a J. People say it enhances everything they do, so why woulden't they stay high all day? They do, this is addiction, your ego just masks addiction through denial.
Marijuana is very addictive, end of story.
Heres the TEST:
All you pot smokers I want you to not touch weed for 2 whole weeks. Not a single hit. "oh well I don't have to prove anything to him" What's that? that was your ego talking you out of it.
Seriously go 2 weeks without hitting your pipe and then you'll see how addictive it really is. It's easy to say you're not addicted to something when you can hit it or buy it easier than gas at a gas station. And for the person who said "If you aren't responsible or don't have a strong mind, you shoulden't be using drugs or youll get addicted". If you were responsible and had a strong mind you woulden't be smoking weed in the first place.
Drugs of any kind take away your strength, your character and your will power and you won't even notice it happening.

I didn't say you woulden't stop if you were forced. Even crackheads stop smoking crack in jail. I said stop while YOU STILL HAVE IT AVAILABLE. gdman, I shoot up coke and heroin every now and then with self control that rivals ghandi. A pothead will never admit that they're addicted, just like a crack whore won't admit she's addicted when she sucks dick for crack. I've seen many many people in my days who haven't missed a day of smoking up for MULTIPLE YEARS. They only admit its addictive when they stop doing it. GDMAN, you might not be addicted to weed but im saying that the potential remains and many people are.

I disagree with that, because I see the benefits of using entheogens in my life. They are powerful teachers and I treat each experience with complete respect. Scream denial all you want, but it's my existence and I think I would know more then you.

Do you even know the definition of an entheogen is? We're talking about people casually taking a drug to get high. Not african tribes members taking ayahuasca in a ritual.

If you think marijuana is really addictive than you havent been addicted to anything else.
When i stopped taking valiums and hydrocodones after a couple months binge i was sick to my guts for weeks. Marijuana has never given me withdrawal that bad.
You need to get your facts straight and stop spouting out opinion likes its gospel.

Of course I know what an entheogen is.
And African tribes using Ayahuasca? Where'd you get that from? As far as I know the vine only grows in South America.

Yeah, after you edited the post where you made a blanket statement and said Quote:
Drugs of any kind take away your strength, your character and your will power and you won't even notice it happening.
So thanks for clarifying if you didn't mean that. What I was trying to say was in response to that above quote, which is that drug use can be either positive or negative, but I make sure that it is positive for me.
If all your saying is that the potential is there to become psychologically drawn and addicted to weed, then okay. I was responding to the above quote in my last post.

Your logic doesnt make sense!!!!!!
How can you say this......
"gdman, I shoot up coke and heroin every now and then with self control that rivals ghandi.
A pothead will never admit that they're addicted, just like a crack whore won't admit she's addicted when she sucks dick for crack. "
What about you????
So your so special???
You can SHOOT hard drugs and your totally in control ??, yet me and other Cannabis users are doomed to cannabis addiction, and chips covered shirts ??
I dont think so.
I can also use opiates with control(but I would NEVER shoot), so how can you belive some people like yourself, can have control when it comes to hard drugs, yet you cant picture a pothead with control???
Let me help you, I worked my ass off today!, I am fit, intellegent, well liked, honest, and most of all motivated.
Sure man pass me thr needle , but watch out Cannabis is addictive and it makes people lazy
Read what you said about Cannabis the next time you shoot up
